Take web pages and their images: the primary use case is to show images embedded in web pages in a browser; this is the application. One can argue that web pages should be bookmarkable as steady states, and that images (not a typical steady state) need not be bookmarkable. > > But the bookmarkability of images is what made Google's image search possible, and is an example of serendipitous reuse not envisioned by the original authors of web pages.
